👍👍 Devils Lake is one of my favorite lakes to paddle board. It’s a smaller lake and no traditional campground so it’s usually not too busy. The water is always quite cold due to the snow melt. But the water is so clear and beautiful. Cannot recommend it enough for a peaceful floating day.

👍👍 I drove up here about 5 days before the 4th of July. There was still snow around part of the lake edges, but the temperature was warm. There were not many people up here on a Tuesday. It is a non motor boat lake so there were kayaks, paddle boards, people fishing from the shore and kids and dogs...
